My kind of director is an actor-director who writes.

Paris is the playwright's delight. New York is the home of directors. London, however, is the actor's city, the only one in the world. In London, actors are given their head.

Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.

I know people who have a much better recollection of their childhood than I do. They remember very well when they were a year and a half and two years old. I've only one or two daguerreotypes that come to mind.

A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own.

A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.

A man is not from where he is born, but where he chooses to die.
